About this event
Five bizarre stories with no apparent connection to one another eventually become intertwined, resulting in surreal circumstances. A salaryman wins tickets to the latest stage sensation, the hypnosis show VIVA FRIENDS! In the middle of the act an assassin shows up and kills the hypnotist, leaving the salaryman stranded and convinced he is a bird! A gang of burglars roam the suburbs while simultaneously dealing with their budding lust for one another! Meanwhile, a man kills and buries his wife, only to have her claw her way out of the grave and go after him with missile arms and fire breath, over and over again. Acclaimed commercial director Gen Sekiguchi pulls all these strands together into a movie that is thrillingly original. Survive Style 5+ jettisons traditional movie tricks and aims for something more, a movie where love means never having to kill your wife more than five or six times. Content Warnings: Contains strong language, moderate violence and sex references. All of our screenings are 18+ unless otherwise stated, and the film start time is as advertised above. Runtime: 120 minutes Director: Gen Sekiguchi Country: Japan Year: 2004 Film
